| It was now the night of Max and Liz’s anniversary. The night had been a success and only one thing remained. Maxine and Alexander took a hold of each others hands, took deep breaths and walked out on the stage. "We’d like you to help us get our mother up on the stage and sing her own song for the first time in public" People watched, as a nervous Maria walked up on the stage and whisper to her kids; "What are you doing?" "Helping you to say what you waited 16 years to say," Max said and squeezed her mothers hand in support. "I can't do this, don't ask me to," Maria begged sadly to her kids. "Mom you need to end this chapter in this life," Alexander said and hugged his mother. As Max and Alex walked of the stage, the music started. ******** Just as Max came off the stage she met up with Matt, whom looked kind of nervous. "Max," he said. "Hey Matt," Max said and looked on as Matt said very nervously; "I was wondering, since I gather that you are staying, maybe we could go out on…on a date" Max’s face lit up at the question. She had finally got the family she always wanted. "I would love to," she answered and kissed a very surprised Matt, but he wasn't complaining. He responded to the kiss and after a few minutes they pulled apart. "What was that for?" Matt asked out of breath. "My way of saying that you for helping me," Max said and smiled. "Well, how about you thanking me some more?" Matt said and grinned, slowly moving his face closer to hers. But a voice saying; "I think not," broke them apart really fast. They both turned their heads around seeing both their fathers. "DAD," Max whined at her father. "What, I am just looking out for you, and that means, no more adventures or creeping into each others room at night…" Michael said but was interrupted by Max whining even more; "But dad" "Don't give me that look, I think Maxwell agrees," Michael said and looked at Maxwell. "I do," he answered and looked at the kids. The whole situation was rather funny. Max and Michael stood with their arms crossed, looking down on their kids and the kids looked sad. "So, do we have a deal," Michael said. "Can we date?" Matt asked nervous. "Yes, but no goodnight kiss or making out in the backseat of the car" Michael said and looked directly at his daughter, if she was as similar as Michael, she was SOO going to be causing a lot of trouble, which worried Michael. "Dad, pleaaase," she whined and gave him her best poppy dog eyes, which Michael melted to directly. "Alright go, before I change my mind," he said laughing a bit. "Thanks, tell mom I will be back at 1," Max said and hugged her father. "Oh no, I want you home at 11:30," Michael answered. "12:30," Max tried with. "12," Michael stated. "Deal….you are taking this whole dad thing seriously," Max said and took Matt's hand in hers and walked away. * * * When Max was out of site, Michael turned and looked at Alexander. He was such a copy of his mother. Michael and he had had a great long talk last night and they started a great relationship, well not as great as his and Max, which no thing would be except for Maria. The love of his life, the mother of his kids and the reason he was living. Yea, life was good, and would always be. He turned and looked on the stage where his love stood nervous. Her eyes caught his and from that moment on he knew that they would be perfect. The song started and Maria's beautiful voice was heard in the back of Michael's head as he lived his life. The End |
| In the still of the night I can almost feel you lying next to me Like it used to be And it's hard to let go When there's always something there reminding me How things could be I've tried to get you off my mind I've tried to play my part But every time I close to my eyes You're still inside my heart Why can't I laugh? Why must I cry? Every time we say goodbye Why does it rain? Here in my heart Every day that we're apart Why can't it be? Just you and me What will it take to make you see? These are the words To my heartbreak lullaby Like the stars in the sky You still keep on shining down your light on me But out of reach And I know that in time You will come back to your senses, see the signs And change your mind I try to look the other way And keep my heart on hold But every time I'm close to you I loose my self control Why can't I laugh? Why must I cry? Every time we say goodbye Why does it rain? Here in my heart Every day that we're apart Why can't it be? Just you and me What will it take to make you see? These are the words To my heartbreak lullaby Why can't I laugh? Why must I cry? Give me just one good reason why Why does it rain? Here in my heart Every day that we're apart Why can't it be? Just you and me What would it take to make you see? These are the words To my heartbreak lullaby Why can't I laugh? Why must I cry? Every time we say goodbye Why does it rain? Here in my heart Every day that we're apart Why can't it be? Just you and me What will it take to make you see? These are the words To my heartbreak lullaby |
